I always check the oil before I pull the cord.
I start and run every 3 months.
Shear pin? Thanks Tagger, tomorrows chore, go get some.

Even before ethanol gas went bad. We had a Buick come in a few years back that wouldn't start with 160 miles on it. It was 2 years old. Two old ladies who only drove it to church ( Honest) and church was a block away from their home. Original tank of gas and it was jello. What a mess. Stank up the service department and the bodyshop with the shellack smell. Use Stabile for seasonally used gas powered equiptment.

Just found my bag of shear pins! Getting a couple open end wrenches to put in a cloth bag and have ready hanging in the garage or truck.

this afternoon

i fired it up and ran it down the driveway and back to really get the lubricant
to all the revolving hardware before tonight's storm.

I have a feeling that this storm will grow from a 2 - 4 to a 6 to 8.
